I have moved up the idea of a bow mount on the priority list. Of course it's not just the motor itself but the casting seat with accessaries and a new flasher that goes with it. Anyway I have some questions for those who have a bow mount.
1. Whats the difference between the Maxxum and the Power drive with Maxxum technology? From what I can see it's the lift assist.
2. Auto pilot, is it worth the extra money for a walleye fisherman that doesn't spend alot of time casting?
3. How heavy are these things? I want so stick with a 12 volt in 55# thrust. My bow plate isn't the strongest although it will support standing on it.
4. Can I wire 2 trolling motors to the same battery? I wouldn't be running both at the same time.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
